[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Huh, so I was wrong about Calam going nutso. Good? At least he'll get along well enough with that Scim, so that's certainly a relief.

Ha ha ha.....Mika, hasn't anyone ever told you that percussive maintenance rarely works well on spooky and or mystical artifacts and contructs? Just ask Ventus! Welp, you better be able to burn some witches, or they'll be the ones to cook your goose mate!

Hmm.......so the ground is booby trapped with spikes, eh? Iron, is the Shallow Ground air space large enough to hold Angie, if she coiled up? That would be one way to bypass that obsticle, if so! Or just Dig under it to destroy them entirely, but that seems more risky than not (Especially after Spira summoned witches just by hitting something hard enough, much less destroy it). Have other tests/plans to try out before that point, though, so let me get those Orders out right quick!

That is a pretty good sign, actually.  Can't make promises about any of the other Scims, obviously, and Calam certainly isn't going to be very welcoming around Cosh, but at least he's unlikely to cause any trouble since the Scims aren't particularly dangerous to us for the time being (even if Calam doesn't like the arrangement, at least he seems to understand what's going on already). Solosis is still probably going to be terrified initially, though...and I can't help but wonder how Kelda is going to react to that...

Funny thing is, those knives might not have affected an actual Duskull due to Levitate. Might not have triggered them either, though...but either outcome can easily be seen as both good and bad, tbh...

She could fit.

.....Welp, Atlus is currently *$%!3d . Might want to use a Super Potion to fix the Lethal Damage, after you try and purify the taint that Gengar left on the poor golem. Maybe pumping some Earthpower into them could do the trick?

...when the heck and how on earth did the Water Scims get ahold of the Croconawmicon from Atheneum? ...not that any of us knew OOC or IC they were even gunning for that in the first place...Valder never exactly said anything about it...we repelled the Earth Scims, though, so...did they manage to get past the riddles anyways after we left?!

...and where the heck and when did the Scimitars get access to STRENGTH?!  That certainly explains their newfound ability to lift ginormous boulders...

And did I see Arachnautilus use a FLASH as well? Ay yi yi...

...so many questions and so few answers right now...

This all happened offscreen so I don't think your characters will ever know it. But Valder was told right away, in his first encounter with Scims, that he needed to bring them the Croconawmicon in exchange for his mother's life. We had a looooooooot of PMs.

[Lord Windos]

......Well, Terra's certainly going to be sharing this news with the rest of the group ASAP, and going to keep his fricking trap shut on the Croconawmicon matter until then. His own thoughts on it is that Valder (His boss' other employee/bodyguard for the group, before they flew the coop) either betrayed the group by giving The Water Scims the Croconawmicon, or had it stolen from him and suffered a horrible fate, and he favors the former theory over the later, since Ven described the merc as highly competent but quiet, untalkative, and somewhat reclusive/shady. He's not happy about what he learned in any case, and he doesn't quite know how to handle it other than just informing the group and keeping quiet as the night.

He wouldn't recognize that Earth Scimitars lifting boulder = Access to STRENGTH in some manner, though, as he just assumes they're just using their Earth and Pokemon fueled techno-magic to pull that off. He'll still mention it to the group, of course, but he's not going to be worried about that until then.

Oh.  So THAT'S the precious thing that Valder said the Scims took from him...

He actually hinted that to Nathan (in a PM iirc), but never specified what it was...nor said anything about how he could get it back, if I recall.

[Spiritmon]

Can't deny I really disappointed for Valder betrayed us, but h do that to save his mother life, so I can forgive him. Guess we indeed have a reason to go after those Water Scims indeed: To find and the Cronawmicom and grab the HM STRENGH. No chance in hell we gonna let those criminals keep a HM with them.

*gaaasps* These Mismagius seem to be even more witchy than normal exemplars of the species are!! @Mika, if you would be to catch one for me and Shiva after defeating the group, I'd be very thankful, as she's pretty interested in anything that has to do with magic and witchcraft. Pleaseeee! Doesn't have to be a gift if you don't want give it for free (though, naturally Shiva would rejoice a lot over a kind present from senpai, and Spira already has a loyal Mismagius) , we can negotiate a trade later.

I'll see what I can do. Shiva can consider it thanks for hearing him out earlier.
